Chapter 3050

The Wang brothers had studied the map repeatedly on the way, but when they actually arrived at San Diego Bay, they could not help but be shocked by the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.

According to the mark on the map, the west side of the entrance and exit of the strait is Cape Loma. This cape is named after the local owner, the Loma tribe. The cape plunges into the Pacific Ocean from north to south, blocking most of the raging wind and waves for San Diego Bay.

The opposite sandbank on the east side is controlled by the Spanish. The village on the sandbank is one of its two colonial settlements.

The sea surface between Cape Loma and the sandbar is like half a circle, turning from south to north and then east, extending in a beautiful arc toward the depths of the bay.

On the north coast of this half of the circle, there is another slightly larger Spanish settlement. The two settlements are distributed on the north and south sides of the bay, forming a pincer shape. This is the bay.

The narrowest section of the water is only about two miles wide.

After passing here and going deeper into the bay, the sea suddenly opens up again, turning all the way to the southeast. This section is twenty miles long, and the arc-shaped bay surrounded by the mainland coastline and coastal sandbars is the real beauty of San Diego Bay.

Main part.

The deepest part of the bay belongs to another powerful local indigenous tribe, the Chula tribe.

In the opinion of the two brothers, there are very few natural bays with such superior natural conditions. Whether it is building a commercial port or a military base, this is an excellent choice.

No wonder the Spaniards, even though they did not have enough resources to develop this area, still managed to build two settlements in San Diego Bay to assert their ownership of the area.

Of course, this gameplay may serve as a warning to Spain's European competitors, but neither the local aborigines nor the tough-minded Haihan will obviously approve of the Spaniards' wishful thinking.

There is a buffer zone about ten miles wide between the area controlled by the Spanish and the territory of the Chula tribe deep in the bay. This coast is very flat and is relatively easy to develop, but the coastal areas that have occupied key locations in the bay

The Spaniards obviously have no more energy left to occupy this place.

However, Tom Wang boldly chose this location as Haihan's foothold in San Diego Bay.

At first glance, this location is not ideal. Not only is it sandwiched between the Spaniards and the indigenous tribes, ships entering and exiting the bay must pass through the narrow waters controlled by Spain. If the other side uses coastal defense artillery to block the sea, it will be almost equivalent.

So the pockets were tied up so that entry and exit would be blocked.

But in fact, Tom Wang was sure that the Spanish armed forces in San Diego Bay were extremely weak and did not have the ability to block the bay channel. Although the two colonial settlements were equipped with some weapons, they were only able to deal with the indigenous armed forces.

It's just a level, but it can't compete with the Haihan Army.

Of course, if the Spaniards want to take the risk, Tom Wang will not be afraid, because this may be one of his purposes. If the Spaniards dare to take the initiative to start a war, then Tom Wang will have sufficient reasons to expand the armed conflict into a war.

, then the other party will really have a headache.

On the way to their destination in San Diego Bay, the two brothers kept using telescopes to observe the conditions along the coast. From the telescopes, they could see the buildings built by the Spanish near the coast.

"Brother, why don't your father directly attack the Spanish settlements and drive them out of the bay? This shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Hearing this question, Wang Anguo put down his telescope and replied: "My father never said what he thought, but I guess there are two reasons why he did this. First, it is said that the Spaniards once looted a lot in order to settle here.

Kill the local natives and keep them to draw hatred for us, so that the natives have no time to care about our actions."

"Secondly, my father may have the intention to bleed the Spanish."

Wang Anbang asked: "What kind of bloodletting method?"

Wang Anguo explained: "The Spaniards have seen us stationed in the bay. If they don't want to be squeezed out by us, they have no choice but to increase their troops. If they really do this, things will be simple. We will keep fighting to let them

We have been recruiting troops from the south to consume their strength."

Wang Anbang suddenly said: "This bay has become a gash in the Spaniards' body. If they don't cease fighting, they will continue to bleed. Unless they give up voluntarily and evacuate this bay."

Wang Anguo said: "The Spanish base camp is in the south. Although there is no need to be afraid of them, if we can weaken their strength by bleeding first, then the decisive battle will be easier."

Wang Anbang smiled and said: "When the Spaniards see that we have mobilized so many people in one go, will they be scared?"

Wang Anguo shook his head slightly and said: "Although Spain's military strength is not as good as ours, its overall strength is not bad. Otherwise, how could they have colonies all over the world? If they choose to avoid fighting when they encounter a strong enemy, how can they achieve such achievements!

"

"Don't forget, they fought against my country in the Luzon region for twenty years, and it was not until last year that they were forced to sign an armistice agreement and cede the local territory after their defeat."

After hearing this, Wang Anbang was not disappointed. Instead, he clapped his hands and applauded: "It's good if you don't get scared! Otherwise, if I can't fight, my trip will not be in vain!"

Wang Anguo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and he didn't bother to argue with him about whether it was more beneficial to Haihan to fight or not to fight.

Wang Anbang was joking, but after all, he had received many years of military training, and his professional quality was not bad. When observing the Spanish settlements with a telescope, he had noticed that there were indeed no coastal defense batteries or coastal defense batteries built on the coast to specifically target enemies from the sea.

fortress.

Regardless of whether the reason was lack of money or underestimation of the enemy, this omission by the Spaniards was equivalent to a waste of the excellent terrain they had occupied early.

The two colonial settlements were built on both sides of the bay. The original intention was of course to control the main channel in the bay. However, they did not set up shore fire defense. This not only gave up the right to pass the channel, but also divided their own power.

Second, it is difficult to form effective responses.

At a small scale, this is improper deployment and poor decision-making; at a large scale, it is simply an act of war criminals.

But with an opponent of this caliber, Wang Anbang could understand why his father finally agreed to let him take part in the operation. If he couldn't deal with such an opponent, then the two brothers wouldn't have to go back to Jinshan Port for business.

After driving through the narrowest sea in the bay, you can already see the port and pier belonging to Haihan in front of you. At present, there are only a few trestles with simple structures as docking places, but due to the geographical environment here, more will be built in the future.

It shouldn't be a problem to have ten or eight large wharves and open up an urban area next to the port area.
